the_o prince_n and_o be_v god_n trustee_n to_o see_v that_o he_o do_v his_o duty_n and_o that_o if_o he_o will_v not_o they_o may_v compel_v he_o and_o reform_v without_o he_o and_o raise_v force_n to_o resist_v his_o unjust_a force_n but_o as_o this_o opinion_n be_v utter_o against_o scripture_n the_o history_n of_o all_o time_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o civil_a government_n wherein_o all_o inferior_a magistrate_n have_v their_o commission_n from_o the_o supreme_a so_o be_v it_o utter_o against_o reason_n for_o then_o instead_o of_o one_o we_o shall_v have_v many_o sovereign_n in_o

force_v he_o and_o reform_v his_o family_n without_o his_o consent_n but_o if_o he_o abhor_v this_o as_o a_o absurd_a and_o impious_a proposal_n and_o as_o utter_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o just_a exercise_n of_o the_o paternal_a authority_n in_o family_n it_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o bad_a in_o sovereign_a state_n and_o kingdom_n and_o in_o a_o short_a time_n will_v make_v the_o supreme_a the_o subordinate_a magistrate_n slave_n i_o have_v also_o make_v this_o observation_n because_o many_o inferior_a power_n and_o magistrate_n have_v former_o and_o i_o wish_v i_o can_v not_o say_v of_o late_a do_v very_o much_o harm_n to_o the_o crown_n and_o give_v very_o ill_a example_n to_o the_o common_a people_n of_o this_o kingdom_n by_o their_o undutiful_a and_o disloyal_a action_n be_v it_o needful_a i_o can_v prove_v this_o charge_n by_o a_o volume_n of_o example_n out_o of_o the_o history_n of_o the_o late_a time_n to_o which_o i_o refer_v you_o and_o hearty_o wish_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o the_o protestant_a religion_n that_o our_o present_a sovereign_n and_o god_n vicegerent_n to_o who_o goodness_n so_o many_o ungrateful_a man_n owe_v their_o honour_n and_o

than_o a_o prince_n but_o in_o the_o five_o place_n if_o god_n have_v put_v the_o sword_n in_o the_o sovereign_n hand_n we_o may_v all_o learn_v how_o necessary_a and_o honourable_a the_o profession_n of_o a_o soldier_n be_v who_o bear_v not_o the_o sword_n in_o vain_a but_o to_o fight_v the_o lord_n battle_n in_o defence_n of_o his_o vicegerent_n and_o to_o be_v a_o revenger_n to_o execute_v

the_o judgement_n which_o you_o execute_v be_v god_n judgement_n and_o you_o fight_v not_o for_o man_n but_o for_o the_o lord_n i_o have_v make_v this_o observation_n because_o we_o have_v at_o least_o one_o sect_n among_o we_o who_o say_v that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o bear_v arm_n and_o serve_v in_o the_o war_n under_o his_o lawful_a prince_n but_o this_o be_v just_a such_o another_o absurd_a opinion_n as_o that_o of_o the_o same_o man_n who_o say_v it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o take_v a_o oath_n before_o the_o lawful_a magistrate_n when_o we_o be_v require_v to_o swear_v i_o profess_v i_o wonder_v what_o can_v be_v the_o ground_n of_o such_o a_o absurd_a opinion_n and_o how_o the_o socinian_o who_o pretend_v to_o be_v master_n of_o reason_n can_v teach_v such_o a_o unreasonable_a thing_n it_o be_v a_o perfect_a contradiction_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o here_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o sovereign_n bear_v the_o sword_n as_o he_o be_v god_n minister_n and_o that_o he_o bear_v in_o not_o in_o vain_a but_o to_o be_v a_o revenger_n to_o execute_v wrath_n upon_o he_o that_o docth_v evil_a and_o if_o he_o bear_v the_o sword_n by_o god_n appointment_n and_o for_o so_o great_a a_o end_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v lawful_a and_o laudable_a to_o bear_v it_o under_o he_o just_a as_o because_o he_o be_v the_o supreme_a minister_n of_o justice_n some_o must_v needs_o serve_v under_o he_o in_o the_o administration_n and_o execution_n of_o justice_n and_o those_o who_o do_v so_o be_v to_o be_v honour_v in_o their_o several_a place_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o that_o civil_a authority_n which_o they_o derive_v from_o he_o the_o sovereign_n be_v the_o fountain_n both_o of_o civil_a and_o military_a authority_n both_o be_v equal_o from_o god_n and_o necessary_a for_o the_o support_n of_o government_n and_o therefore_o i_o confess_v i_o can_v understand_v why_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o unlawful_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o buckle_v on_o the_o sword_n at_o the_o command_n of_o his_o prince_n than_o to_o put_v on_o a_o gown_n but_o second_o i_o have_v make_v this_o observation_n to_o let_v our_o seditious_a people_n see_v

arma_fw-la pacis_fw-la fulcra_fw-la that_o arm_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o peace_n they_o show_v we_o what_o we_o must_v expect_v from_o they_o be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o sword_n and_o god_n be_v

i_o shall_v make_v some_o practical_a inference_n from_o this_o loyal_a doctrine_n proper_a to_o this_o audience_n and_o the_o exgence_n of_o the_o time_n in_o which_o we_o live_v i._n first_o then_o

because_o you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n among_o sovereign_a prince_n as_o to_o the_o divinity_n of_o their_o title_n but_o that_o the_o sacred_a order_n of_o king_n in_o
